Purpose: Emerging nuclear imaging technologies are advancing the field of spinal diagnostics for degenerative changes. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of spinal hot spots in an orthopedic population undergoing bone scintigraphy (BS) for reasons unrelated to the spine and to assess the correlation of these hot spots with the presence of corresponding spinal complaints.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology who provided general consent for the use of their medical data.

The objective of this study was to analyze treatment approaches and outcomes according to patients' perspectives for patients with indeterminate spinal instability caused by neoplastic lesions. Data were collected from 31 patients with a total of 147 spinal neoplastic lesions, 29 of whom had lesions classified as indeterminate. These lesions were divided into two groups: the low indeterminate group (SINS 7-9) and the high indeterminate group (SINS 10-12).
